60. My defensive platitudes

Thu Jan 16, 2014, 03:41 AM

Jan 2014

Yeah. In defense of the innocents who stand to be damaged by the nuclear pollution which this way comes. I have for years been quite aware of the changes the earth is going thru... climate change, air pollution, water pollution. And the people are all like "Huh? You are chicken little." Well, here we are, a messed up world with declining wildlife, climate change and now nuclear plants blowing up. Yeah, I'm defensive. You would be too if you understood and had seen what I've seen.

As for my world view.... there is not one deep ecologist who doesn't grok it.

You may be a lost case, but there are others out there; youngsters who have a long life ahead of them who need to be aware of the Truths of this world and the changes coming down. To them I speak and to others just words to the wise. Some are too set in their ways to be reached. Oh well.
